todays been a good day

[redline]

quite productive really , the redline now has illuminated rear wiper and front fog switches, new steering wheel , replaced all the non working bulbs in the dash and nearly completed my rear headrests , amazing what I can do when i bother to get out of bed LOL

[redline]

gets even better , picked up my headlight protectors from mick t tonight. thanks again mick

Good work Mick! You've been rather busy! Pics are required I think!

BTW did you get the email?

How have you decided to do the head rests then?

Headlight protectors? Excellent work. That's a grand total of three of us that I know of with them, although one of mine is broken, and did you see Foggy's headlight? The protector did not protect it, he has one cracked lense.

Hi Pete ,yeh I got the email thanks m8. not been able to see the pics yet though coz chris (sky )is still trying to sort the computer out properly and I dont want to risk losing them, I offered James the o/s headlight from the redline but he has a glass already, the covers MickT let me have are just about as perfect as your ever likely to see . I am going to use the redline headrest covers over the pair of toyota lucida headrests that I have because the toyota uses a fixing method of two straight steel pins which will be easier to fit to the volvo.

rear head rests and headlight protactors fitted you never know if its dry tomorrow I might even get the stripes done on the bonnet

Mick, you have been busy! You're supposed to do all this before the meet so we can see all the hard work!

[redline]

I wanted to , but someone who shall remain nameless booked us to go away on holiday the week before the meet ( some women just have no sense of timing )

[redline]

Door sill protectors now fitted to the front door sills, Thanks Adam for getting them for me , got to cut rears to fit . front fogs now fitted under bumper and working , front spots now working but brackets seem s little bit more flexible than I thought and the lights flicker a bit at speed , hopefully my mate will sell his girls smart car this weekend leaving his garage empty so the bonnet stripes can be done at last ,

[redline]

finally got around to the oil and filter change , used castrol gtx magnatex oil and a 750ml bottle of slik 50 , car is instantly quieter on start up and cold running and do's seem a bit perkier as well .

[redline]

dont know if its the oil change and the slik 50 but the car seems to have tons more mid range power and hit 115 mph on the M6 today , still had more power but some silly T*rt in a mercedes convertible couldnt handle the thought of being overtaken by a 340 so pulled across in front of me beatch

[bodejodel]

I've never believed the Slick50 commercials... but now...
I'll just wait to see if you wreck your engine soon... if not I will try some too...

[redline]

finally got around to having a look at the towbar I got last month , arent angle grinders great when it comes to stripping old paint off of thick metal , had a nice shiny towbar in about 20 minutes ( dont think the neighbours cared for the noise much though ) then primed and resprayed it in black , If the weather stays like it is I might just put it on the car tomorrow LOL

[redline]

picked the new grille up yesterday and finished painting the tow bar , doubt if I will get either fitted before I go away on Saturday but will post pics asap , really pleased with the grille thanks to Adam

[redline]

ok I couldnt wait , put the grille on today and it looks great , Only downside is that the volvo badge is obscured by the spotlight on that side ( DOH !!!)

Cheers Adam
